ARMY PRIZE MONEY. /ROM FHB LONDON GAZETTE OF DEC. 8, 1826. G RANT to the ARMY which served under the Command of Lieutenant-General Sir THOS. 111 SLOP, Bart., G.C.8., in the WAR against the PINDAREES and certain of the MAIIRATTA STATES, in the Years 1817 and 1818. Notice is hereby given, pursuant to the Act of 51 , George II Cap. 86, and to the Directions and Regulations contained in the Warrant of Grant, that for the convenience and advantage of such of the Officers, Non-conmiissioneil Officers, and Soldiers, and of the Representatives of such Officers and Soldiers as may wish to receive their Prize Money in England, the distribution of the Pro ceeds of the Booty, taken at the following Places, by the under mentioned Forces, will commence and take place at No. 8, Re- gent-street, London, on Tuesday, the 12th day of the present Month, and end on Tuesday, the 13th day of March nett; when the Distribution by us must, according to the said Act, cease, and the .

It will also he necessary for the Representatives of deceased Officers to produce to us the Probate of \Vill, or I.etters of Admi nistration (as the ease may be) before we can pay to them or to their Order, the Shares due to those they represent.

To a gentle. man travelling alone in a post-chaise --to a single man stuck solitary in the coffee-room of a miserable country inn—or to an epicure anxious to pass over that dreary lapse of time, the half hour before a hot dinner—to each and all of these, we conscientiously advise their perusal. SACRED AND SERIOUS POETRY—Edinburgh sod Lon don, 1827. pp. MO. When so much strict attention is devoted to selecting the thousand various beautiful flowers of versewith which our literature abounds, we think that. the,4eitioal gleaner'who culls blossoms in'the richbut as yet al most untrodden—fields of religious poetry, deserves very general commendation. The present publication is peculiarly meritorious ;itis an attempt--anti a very successful one—to bind together the scattered sheaves of serious and religious sentiment, and thus afford a wholesome food for the mind, as lasting as it is de lightful. Among other deserving fugitive pieces, Graham's Sabbath is introduced, but as this Poem is well known, at least in Scotland, and admired where ever it is read, we forbear presenting our readers with extracts, which it is .more than probable they have per Used before. We. may venture, however, on the following exquisite gem, premising that it was the last production of a highly gifted young Irish clergyman, named Wolfe,--author of the well-known stirring stanzas on the Death of Sir John Moore—who died a few years since. To our minds the verses are as truly and simply pathetic as any throughout the wide compass of English Literature. If I had thought thou eouldet have dhd, I might not weep for thee; But I forgot, when by thy side, That thou couldst mortal be : It never through my mind had past, The time would e'er be o'er, And I on thee should leak my last, And thou shouldst smile uo more! And still upon that face I look, And think 'twill smile again ' • And still the thought I w ill notbroolc, That I must look in vain ! But when I speak—thou dost not say, What thou ne'er West unsaid ; And now I feel, as well I may, Sweet Mary ! thou art dead! If thou wouldst stay, e'en as thou art, All cold and all serene-- I still might press thy silent heart, And where thy smiles have been ! While e'en thy chill, bleak come I have, Thou seemeat still mine own ; But there I lay thee in thy grave— And 1 am now alone ! I do not think, whereer thou art, Thou hmit forgotten me; And I, perhaps, may sooth this heart, In thinking too of thee: Yet there was round thee such a dawn Of light ne'er seen before, As fancy never could have drawn, And never can restore ! We are no great friends to University Prize Poems; we think that the institution of them is a Will-o'-the whisp, which leads many a youth astray, by tempting him into the almost inaccessible domains of imagina tion. We think also that your thick-headed fellows of Colleges, bard dry logicians or mathematicians, long since past the age of sentiment, and who, even in their youth scarcely knew a poem from a plum-plud ding ; we think that these (the judges of the Prizes), arc perfectly, profoundly, and notoriously incompetent to their tasks; still, notwithstanding such prejudices we cannot help directing our reader's attention to a few choice passages from the following Poem on the restoration of Learning in the East, (from the pen of the Right l ion. Charles G ran t), which gained the Chancellor's medal at Cambridge : it is as far su perior to the general run of these rhymed article's as Hyperion to a Satyr." The versification is founded on the good old models of Pope and Dryden, but is freer and less artificial than the first ; without possess. ing either the carelessness or rugged inequalities of the last—but the reader shall judge for himself. Yes, it shall come! E'en now my eyes behold, In distant view, the willed-for age unfold. Lo, o'er the shadowy, days that roll between, A wandring gleam foretells th' aecending scene ; Oh, doom'd victorious from thy Wounds to sue, Dejected India, lift thy downcast eyes, And mark the hour, whose faithful steps for thee Through Time', read ranks bring on the jubilee . 0 Roll back, ye crowded years, your think array, Greet the glad hour, and g i ve the triumph way. Hail! First and Greatest, inexpressive maw, Substantial Wisdom, God with God the acme! Oh Light, which shades of Beret glory veil, Oh human Essence, ruix'd with Godhead, hail ! Powers, Princedoms, Virtues, wait thy sovereign call, And but for Thee exists this breathing all. Then shake thy heavens, thou Mightiest, and descend, While Truth and Peace thy radiant march attend._ With wearied hopes thy thousand empires groan, Our aching eyes demand thy promised throne. Oh cheer the realms from life and sunshire far ! Oh plant in Eastern skies thy sevenfold star ! Then, while transported' Asia kneels around, With ancient arts and lung-lost glories crown'd, Some happier Bard, on Ganges' margin laid, Where playful bamboos weave their fretted shade, Shall to the strings a loftier tone impart, And pour in rapturous verge his flowing heart. Statnp'd in immortal light on future days, Through all the strain his coqutry's joys shall blare ; The Sanscreet song be warm'd with heevenly fires, And themes divine awake from Indian lyres. The reader will observe with delight the uncom monly poetical character of the lines marked in Italics. Before we conclude, we must not omit speaking in high terms of praise of the spirited but brief criticisms with which this valuable miscellany (only five and six pence in price) abounds. The prefatory remarks on Graham, though somewhat too encomiastic, are highly characteristics with this observation we con clude—" teinpus velum spumantia solvers coils."

That Gentleman has given to me and to the Editor of Mr. Canningia Speeches much an explanation as has satisfied both him and me, that the Speech published in the John Bull came into the possession of the Editor of that Paper in the fair and regular course of business. I have 0n1y....t0 add that the explanation given to me by Mr. Shackell is so full and satisfactory u to justify the high opinion 01 his integrity, which, from a knowledge of twenty-five years, have entertained, and which I believe be deservedly poseesses.-1 remain, Sir, your most obedient and very humble servant, JAMES RIDGWAY. 169, Piccadilly, Dec. 25, 1828. LITERATURE. O'KEEFFE'S RECOLLECTIONS—London, 1826. 2 vole. pp. 428. The peculiar style of literary and biographical gos sip of which the present work consists has been but of late years naturalized in England. In France, how ever, it was always a popular class of Literature, to which national predilections we owe that amusing historiette, Sully's memoirs ; and in a still lighter style of Avriting, the entertaining scandals of Grimm, Gram mont, and that Prince of egotists, Rousseau. Perhaps our late intimate connections with the continent may hare set this passion for anecdote afloat ; certain at any rate it is, from whatever motive, that at the present moment it is the universal mania, and no sooner is a new work professing to gossip about public individuals announced, than the Edition is enthusiastically sought after. The present volume professes to give anecdotes and sketches of a gentleman who never yet wrote any thing worth a moment's consideration, but who, from circumstances was elevated into a fictitious importance, that lend in terest to his recollections by binding them up with names deservedly dear to the public. Mr. 0 keeffe himself we take to be as aetant a driveller "as ever spawned -his dramatic, abortions on the stage; his anecdotes, however, are' of a different cast, they relate to times and individuals longsince gone by, and whom, however deserving, historic dignity could not consist ently condescend to notice. His occasional allusions to Sheridan, for instance, his interviews with G. Colman, father to the present Saint and beef eater of that name, together with his passing hints about Garrick, are all valuable in their way, as redeeming from oblivion certain features of character without the pale of history. We think the book there fore deserves great praise in the two important points of amusement and instruction ; at the same time, we could wish that its author, in his outrageous seal for g9ssipping, had refrained from assuring us that his son Tottenham, about eight-and -twenty years ago, was ex ceedingly partial to a rump-steak. It is impolitic, however, as Sancho informs us, to look a gift horse in the mouth, so let us make the most of what we can get, and set to work at a few choice extracts ; and first of the " Agreeable Surprise" (a pretty farce enough), let us hear what its author says— Though the season was nearly closed, Mr. Colman asked me for my piece, and I gave him my "Agreeable Surprise," which he immediately brought out. A circumstance scarcely credible happened the eery morning of the day on which this piece was to be acted. A play-bill, wet from the press, Was brought in, and laid upon the table, for Mr. Colman to read and correct ; and we were both puzzled how to spell the word "Agreeable." With one a," I said, " thus, asireable." of I think so too," ho replied ; " yet they have put two sec" Thus we bandied the word from one to another, spelling it repeatedly, and at last were forced to send up stairs for a dictionary; when the two poets found they were in the wrong, sad the compositor in the right. The first night, Dr. Arnold and I were in the box-lobby together, both misah pleased with its successful proves!. The tumult of laugh ter grew louder, and we were highly gratified ; but when Edwin got up in the window and voeihrated, " Stand out of the way, Domino Felix, till Rusty Fusty shoots the Attorney! " the roar of applause was so loud and universal, that both composer and pact stood for a few moments looking at each other in silent conster nation. We did not knew whether the uproar proceeded from applause or disapprobation; however, we were soon convinced of the former; and, the play over, !we were 'surrounded by the dramatis persona in full costume, behind the scenes, all joy and congratulations. Macklin was in the pit the drat night, and at the dropping of the curtain was heard to say, " ' The Agreeable Surprise' is the best farce in the English language, except the ' Son-in.law !' " which decision on its merits, coming from the author of "Love a-la-mode" and " The Man of the World," and an excellent actor himself, did me no harm with his hearers. My brother was also there; but such the fear of our nearest relations for us in untried enterprise, that he, full of grave anxiety, asked a person who eat next to him, " Do you think they will ever let this be done again ?" Every lover of the drama has heard, at one time or other, of Miss Catley, the celebrated vocalist ; the following is an amusing anecdote regarding her :-- The first time of my venturing into • theatre after my defeat, Min Catley accosted me from a front row in the lower boxes, loud enough, as I was many rows back, to b e h ear d b y every body, "fie, O'Keeffe, you had a piece. d ---d t h e ot h er n i g h t . I'm glad of it—the devil mend you for writing an opera without bringing me into it." Oa my second attempt, therefore, I wrote the character of a Lady Abbess for her, with * song and chorus of Nuns, to the tune of Stony Batter—so that, upo n re fl e ction, the unfavourable judgments of the performers on this my second attempt shielded ma from additional mortification. A few mi nutes after Miss Coley had thus accosted me, I.eoni entered the box, with a lady leaning on his arm. Min Catley, catching his eye, called out, " How do you do, Leoni ? I hear you're mar ried—is that your wife Bid her stand up till I see her." Leoni, abashed, whispered the lady, who with goon-h umour ed com pliance stood up. Catley, after surveying her a little,. said, " Ha! very well, indeed. I like your choice." The audience around seemed more diverted with this nen° in the box*, than that on the stage, as Miss Catley and her oddi t i es were W ell known to all. She was one of the most beautiful women Lever saw : the expression of her eyes, and the smile* and dimples that played round her lips and cheeks, enchanting. She was eccen tric, but had an excellent heart. On the whole, however meanly we think of the On Saturday night last, a valuable cow was houghs(' on the lands of Loughagai, near this town, the property of Mr. George Ronaldson. On Friday night, two heifers were hoed Doer Moy yore ; they belong e d t o Thos. M. Carew, ugh Esq. On Friday last, the fair-day of Monte, James Cormick, who lives in that neighbourhowl, was waylaid on' his re turn from the fair, by a partrof Roekites, who beat him with bludgeons so severely that he died on Monthry An inquest was held by T. Fetherston Esq. Mosstown, and Col. Osborne, when a verdict of wilful murder was re turned against David Daly and others unknown. Much praise is due to Mr. Fords, Chief Constable, forth. clever mariner in which he apprehended the murderer, who now lies in our gaol for trial. Armed parties of Rockily', in considerable numbers, :as semble every night in the disturbed districts of this eminty upwards of 30() were seen on Saturday night last, between Wrack:up and Monte. Edward Lynam' late stew:int to It It Temple, Ea+ of Waterstown, was under the necessity, for the preaetvietion - of his life, to leave his employm en t, (b e i ng way l a id an d fired at, &c.: as our readers will recollect) took a house in Athlone, and commenced the victualling business. On Monday night last, his journeyman was attacked, severely beaten, and ordered to "be off ; 11 and several fellows go through the streets, cautioning the public not t o ea t Pro testant beef. Lynch is a Protestant. That active Chief Magistrate Major 0 1 Donoghue has been again sent by order of Government into the disturb ed districts of this county. Ho has taken his residence at Ballymahon,as the most central point. An Inquest MN held on the body of Clarke, who was killed at Craggan Castle, in this county, on the evening of Tuesday, the 12th of December inst., before Richard Handcock, jun., M.P., and the Rev. Annesley Stream, two of his Majesty's Justices of the Peace for the said County. After the examination of several witnesses, the Court inljourned till Monday, the 18th, in order to give Francis Longworth, Esq., who was confined by his wounds, en opportunity of attending. After a strict investigation, the Jury found the following verdict : We find that the deceased James Clarke came by his death by a flat wound inflicted with a pike by one of his own gang, in a desperate attack upon the family in the house of Craggan Castle, with an intent of murdering and robbing the said family, and we believe that the said wound was intended for Francis Longworth, Esq. (who had been previously stubbed dangerously with a pike), which fortunately missed the said Francis Longworth, Esq., and was most providentially inflicted on one of their own party. The deceased had the semblance of a crucifix burned in with gunpowder, or saltpetre, into the back part of his hand, upon which the frestmeath Journal offers the fol lowing remarks : " Various opinions are said to exist in Athlone and' its neighbourhood, as to whether the sign of the cross,' on on the back of Clarke,' the murderer's hand, Was of a pawed or religious nature. Some imagine that he. was a member of the order of the ' Grand Cross Liberators,' others, that it rues placed there as a preservative from in jury in case of danger, and like his predecessor, the R ev . General, Father Murphy, to render him *invulnerable: If for the latter purpose, it is thought the Rev. Chaplain to that division of the Rockite army, to which deceased be longed, will get into disrepute, or be dismissed the service, as poor Clarke's body was found to be as readily pierced by his comrade's pike as the former's, when at the battle of Arklow, heretic's bullet just chanced to drop in.'" GERMAN AND FRENCH BOOK TRADE. The Michaelmas Book Fair at Leipsic, this year, has furnished a greater number of books than any preceding one. The sum total of the works that have actually been published by German houses is 2,125; the number of the houses publishing, 338. In the mass er e 222 new edi tions, including the 23d edition of Bogatsky's Golden Treasury, and the 86th edition of 1% dmeen's German Children's Friend. There are in the catalogue V 39 works in foreign languages, of which 160 are Latin, and .37 Greek ; also 156 translations from foreign language., among which are 54 from the French, and 63 from the English. Tam are no fewer than six editions (one in English) of the complete works of Sir W. Scott. Ac cording to the subjects, we find amongst 2,12.5 books, 337 theological, 21 philosophical, 167 historical, 116 political and nautical, 160 pedagogical, 60 grammatical, 208 tech. Meal, 88 on natural history and philosophy, 159 medical, 14 geographical, 11 epic, 58 lyric, 38 dramatic, and 27 musical, 186 romances and novels, 87 ancient classics. 69 maps. The remainder are miscellaneous. The Bibliographic de la France gives a view of the new hooks published in France as it appeared to be in the first six mouths of the years 1814 to 1826; i. e. since the re storation. If we compare these with the number of books announced as completed in the Leipsic Catalogue of the same years, we find the following result : Years. France. Germany, Eset. Mielsaeirnas. 1814 1815 1816 1017 1,843 .. . .... 1,1,17 1818 2,431 1819 1820 1821 1822 1823 1924 '1,436 182 b 1626 2,194 g,64R 2,640 8,012 2,729 2,558 2,870 3,196 „. 1,640 2,648 33,774 , 92,204 , 18,099 32404 50,30,9 Thus it appears that far more books are published in Germany than in F rance , especial when' we recollect that the books announ ce d as not really, which, wit4, , rew exceptions, have r ea ll y issued from the press, without being again ann ounce d , fil l 785 pages in the twenty-Er catalogues for th e years under consi d erat i on , an d we may reckon 10 wo r k s per page; and tbat,.amongst the hooks in foreign modern languages, not reckoned here, many are pub lished by G erman P r inevir; We also see that the produc tion of b oo k s h as a ugme nted more rapidly in France than in Gerinany, the French having increased from 979 to y 4,379, and the German from 2,529 in 1814 '0 4,704 in 1928. The largest number in Germany for one cite was that of yea r, vie. 4,836 works, and the smallest that of the largest catalogue that of Easter, 1825, and te i that of Michaelmas, 1815. If to the 50,309 st: ll .st books announced as ready, we add 7,350 stated to be not mt ly, . and the works in foreign languages publialied in Germany, we shall have about 50,000 works printed in Germany since 1814 (inclusive.) A person reading on an average one work every day (whether of one voluMe, or, like the most amazingly cheap pocket editions, damns 100 vols.) would require 170 years to complete his task. The number of writers may be at least half that of the works, i. e. 30,000; as 13 years is not haif a generation (reckoned at 30 years), there must exist at least 40,000 other writers ; ;for if to 13 y e a rs i re reckon 30,000,- We must add 40,000 for the other 17 years. The present ge neration has therefore 70,000 authors, who (whether we reckon backwards or fc,rwarde) have written, are writing, or will write, in the apace of 30 years.—Literary Gaulle.
